Chapter 252: Last quest on Erok. Part 10.

Akira had keen eyes and his memories were near perfect. That made Viktor thought his plans had been messed up. The whole human kingdom knew a human with bright golden hair had stolen a precious person from them which led the elven king vexed and drove them to wage war.

The Romos empire was at a disadvantage because they needed Viktor’s strength. But after all that had happened, if Akira, who knew who was the culprit of leading two kingdoms to war had seen the man with golden hair assisting him, it would lead to a great misunderstanding.

Viktor was worried that his plan might’ve failed but when he read Akira’s record to erase his recent memories even though system 009 had strictly advised him not to use his powers on them because it might create some glitch or worse, cancel the quest by evaluating it as error, he saw something odd.

Akira had never seen Yir. He just saw the dragon’s jaw suddenly fall off from his head. Also, he was happy to see Viktor alive but also terrified to see the size of that dragon and its power. He felt proud that he was a student of a person who was currently fighting a huge dragon for the sake of the people of Romos and all mankind.

He then remembered that Yir was an archangel and he shows himself in front of those he wants. Others can’t see him even if they try to spot him in their soul form. (aka soul that came out of a mortal body after death)

He sighed in relief and turned his attention back to the panting dragon who had just lost his mouth. He was trembling but he still had enough power to defend himself.

’Good thing that the dragon stopped talking. I must thank Yir for cutting his jaw along with his tongue.’

Yir winked at Viktor and vanished into thin air before bowing. Letting him fight without any worry, Yir disappeared somewhere.

’Of course, his job is to aid me. That’s why Adonis sent him to me because he thought I might need some hands since all my abilities will be sealed by the system. He is indeed a clever demon.’

Viktor chucked and intentionally, he started to fight with less power to get some beating. Since it was, of course, a huge part of the plan. He started to act like he was struggling to fight the dragon.

The people who were seeing Viktor fight in his terrible state, started to worry. Akira and others were also worried that he might lose so they thought about helping him. But those demonic monsters were approaching Romos quickly which made them busy.

They couldn’t help Viktor with his fight.

At that moment, the dragon lord used telepathy to send a small message inside his head. *Why.. why are you doing this to me? Aren’t we both his victims?*

*Why am I doing this? Because I don’t want to die after I come all the way here. In order to beat that musclehead, I need to complete this quest and go to another world. The universe, no. Heaven is in grave danger but nobody seems to mind it at all. And here I am, chained with a disgusting system, worrying about my sleep schedule.*

*But I don’t want to die either. I have too much to do. Starting with killing Elesis, I want to become immortal and live in the sky realm. But alas, I became a victim of this system.*

Viktor had already read his record thoroughly. Xiamaru had lived a long life but a dark one. He became Elesis’s servant even before Yir was banished from the highest realm. He did all the dirty work in exchange for dragon cores. But in the end, he was treated harshly. His master was a more terrible person than a demon. He was the spawn of the devil in his eyes.

Viktor understood that he had lived a long yet terrible life. But his quest was more important than his already f*cked-up life.

So he said, *Xiamaru. I swear upon my name, Viktor E. North that if you accept your defeat now, I will search for your soul throughout the universe and give you an opportunity to face Elesis.*

Xiamaru startled after he heard his statement. He knew Viktor wasn’t lying because a god can’t lie by swearing upon their name. But he was afraid of death.

*V.. Viktor. Are you sure...*

*Yes. If you die now, Yir will guide your soul to the 2nd realm where the cultivators live. It may take a few centuries, probably a thousand to take your soul to reincarnate but it will one day before the tournament. Once you’re born, I will come to your house and give back all your memories. Also, I will give you one infinite stone which will guide you straight to Helsia beside me. It’s not a bad deal, right?*

Xiamaru knew he wasn’t lying but the constant torture his master gave him in the past made him suspicious.

But Viktor couldn’t wait any longer. He rushed at him at full speed and gave him a punch right in the middle of his gigantic stomach.

His huge body flew and landed on a mountain. It created an earthquake but he didn’t stop after a punch. He again landed an attack on his stomach, but intentionally, he stayed close to his unharmed hand that he kept uninjured for the last act of his plan.

As planned, Xiamaru pierced Viktor’s heart with his sharp nail. But who knew Viktor had already made a way inside his body like a hole?

In the meantime, Xiamaru’s heart also stopped after receiving multiple punches. He was dead and was able to stab Viktor at the very end.

*Congratulations on clearing a quest.*

*You have levelled up!!*

*For cleaning the quest, you will receive "Nectar potion" as the system suggested by evaluating your experience points*

*For now, you will receive another q..*

Before the system could finish its words, Viktor said, *System 009, activate the item and sent me to the key-searching quest.*

[System 009 has accepted your command. 009 will temporarily shut down your tower system for 20 years. The tower system can no longer interfere with your avatar while you’re on the next quest for 20 years.

The system will open a channel to the planet ’X’ where your search quest will begin.]

[The channel will open in 4:59..98..97..96..]

[Please wait patiently]

Viktor wanted to take the dragon lord’s nail out of his chest since it was bothering his lungs when he was breathing. He was uninjured because his heart was somehow else. He could’ve healed all of his injuries but that would create a fuss when Akira would see Viktor die without any reason.

So he had to act like he was really ascending to the heavens. He saw Akira and others approaching him at the speed of a horse. Quickly, he puked some blood intentionally and started to fake struggling.

Akira finally approached him and said, "Professor!!! Professor!! Are you alright..profess..!!!" He then noticed the grave injury on his chest, which was bleeding like tap water.

Akira pulled the nail out of his chest and tried to stop the bleeding but there was no use. He had already lost too much blood and that’s what he thought.

He started to cry and saw Viktor smiling. Viktor was sure he was smirking and celebrating inside his mind because his plan worked but in Akira’s eyes, Viktor was laughing because he was able to kill the dragon. But he had sacrificed his life in the process.

"Professor!! Please hold in for a moment! I will call the healers!!"

Viktor grabbed his head and said, "N..no need..*Cough* Akira. I’ve reached my end in this world."

In reality, his system was showing him that he had only a minute left before the teleportation. And the reason why he was struggling to speak was because he was choking on his own spit in excitement.

*Cough..* "Cough..*

"Professor! Please! You can’t die! I still have a lot of things to learn from you! I also have a lot of things to tell you about my world!"

’I don’t want to know anything about you now because I know everything! And let me have a peaceful fake death!!!’

Viktor then suddenly remembered something that he didn’t want to recall at that moment. It was the day when he fought with a dragon and a guardian backstabbed him for using taboo magic.

The pain of death he felt was something he could never forget. And the trembling hands of Adonis he felt around his face still haunt him in his dreams.

The day was indeed similar to the day Viktor had died. The sky was again filled with dark clouds which would break and pour in anytime. He could see Akira crying and all the sobbing heroes around him.

As a demigod, it was hitting nails in his heart that he couldn’t do anything for them. Those poor souls were trapped in such a disgusting system curse and that made Viktor angry.

But he couldn’t do anything because his opponent was a king god and compared to him, he was a mere demigod.

His mind was running wild but he kept staring at the sky with a solemn face, unaware of all things happening around him.

Suddenly, his body started to break into pixels that made everyone stunned. Since he was the only 9th-class mage on the continent, everyone around him thought that must be the way how a 9th-class mage dies.
